The concert hall buzzed with anticipation, the air thick with the scent of perfume and excitement. Sarah clapped her hands together in sync with the pre-show music, her pulse thrumming with enjoyment. She was attending a performance of her favorite symphony, and every inch of her body was vibrating with anticipation. A man in the row behind her leaned forward, studying her hands.

"You... you have it too," he said, his voice hushed.

Sarah spun around, her face lit up. "The iridescence?" She held out her hands, letting them shimmer slightly in the dim light. "I do! It's so rare, I didn't think I'd meet anyone else like me."

"It's true," the man said, a grin spreading across his face. "I'm Alex, by the way. It's truly something."
